    In the name of thousands of cats, PLEASE BOYCOTT THE BEJING OLYMPICS!!

    http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...ng+Cats+Bejing

    Bejing is "cleaning up the streets" by killing thousands of cats, in an effort to impress tourists during the Olympics.

    After reading this, I've decided to boycott the Olympics altogether. It's just not right.

    I find this disgusting and repulsive and urge everyone who loves animals to do the same.

    I would never boycott an olympics, I am too involved with sports with my daughter, she is a junior olympic and that is who would suffer. There are many ways to make a statement and I don't agree with that one.
    don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die....

    Myself & my husband decided months ago to boycott the games. When all the information first came to light about the child labor being used to get ready for the games and about the extreme measured they were going to with the 'street' animals.

    Too little too late. I cringed when I heard the announcement about Beijing getting the games, but nothing was said.....

    Now when the spotlight is on, the protesters come out.

    Where were they when the selection of Beijing was announced?

    They may not have know. I personally have no idea how the Olympics chooses which country will host it. I never saw it in the news because I never read the sports section and have little interest in sports so even if it was in the popular section, I probably would have skipped it.

    I WILL be boycotting the Olympics. You can count me in, moosmom!!!!

    The world had not seen the killing of monks in the strret back then. The
    Chinese governmant failed to stop film of the beatings & killing leaking out
    to the press.

    p.s. With China owning so much capitol invested in the US, we could hardly
    object to them hosting.
